Another day and more moments to share - hello again and welcome back friends. Amidst the challenges we have faced in this time, Lokels Only continues to grow and support local businesses. Our newest chapter has brought us into the beautiful and historic district of Little Tokyo. Needless to say it has been a journey to get where we are, and we remain grateful for the support and love we have been given.

It's always a blessing to see current vendors thrive and broaden their creativity while also welcoming new faces into the Lokel community. Our OGs, The Ricans, continue to show up, show out, and be a role model for our vendors on the rise.

Bunso's ability to curate a new menu every week without losing food quality or sacrificing taste continues to leave us in awe. His Filipino-style tacos have been an absolute game-changer and have sold out every Taco Tuesday for the past two weeks.

Morning Bird brought the brunch this weekend with their ube pancakes and cereal crusted french toast being a weekend favorite.

Also welcoming our newest vendors, Mallory with the Flowers, Super Fresh Distributors, and Kickback, to the scene this week, and no surprise here: they absolutely killed it. Mallory’s bouquets were an instant fan favorite from the aesthetics to the warm and positive energy they created in the space; Super Fresh kicked their residency off with a great first-week of sales and worked with our vendors to source their ingredients; and Kickback’s CBD-infused drinks were the perfect way to unwind from the week and start the weekend cool, calm, and collected. 

As the holiday weekend approaches, all of us here are wishing you a memorable and safe 4th of July celebration with your family and friends. Don’t forget to follow our social media to stay up to date with our schedule. So much more coming our way as we continue to forge new relationships with business owners and artists alike. No matter where we are, or what’s happening around us the mission remains the same.
